Descanso Gardens unveiled two groundbreaking ventures to elevate the culinary experience for visitors – a new partnership with Pasadena-based Jones Coffee Roasters and a new high-end, grab-and-go culinary market.

Sodexo Live!, a hospitality partner to convention, cultural and sporting venues, announced a new partnership with cultural destination, Descanso Gardens, outside Los Angeles.

Descanso Gardens unveiled two groundbreaking ventures to elevate the culinary experience for visitors – a new partnership with Pasadena-based Jones Coffee Roasters and a new high-end, grab-and-go culinary market in the former Café space. 

The newly designed Jones Coffee Roasters trailer located near the Gardens’ entrance offers an array of coffee blends, delectable pastries and breakfast delights. With a rich heritage spanning five generations, Jones Coffee Roasters epitomizes excellence in coffee culture. Rooted in a 3,000-acre Guatemalan farm, the Jones family grows, roasts and sells coffee beans that have earned recognition from leading specialty coffee organizations.

In the former Café space in the Gardens’ Courtyard, Descanso Gardens also introduces The Market, an epicurean haven where guests can discover a diverse range of hot and cold grab-and-go items, gourmet snacks and an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The Market will offer a selection of soft-service ice cream. New dining and drinking options are made possible through the new partnership between Descanso Gardens and Sodexo Live!.

Juliann Rooke, CEO of Descanso Garden, said in the announcement: “Our mission at Descanso Gardens is to continually elevate the visitor experience, and our partnership with Jones Coffee, along with the launch of The Market, exemplifies this commitment. We’re redefining how our guests can savor a wide variety of culinary options, quickly, efficiently and with elevated quality, ensuring a memorable and satisfying journey for all.”
